I'm here today with Joanna a guest who's the author of Folded Wisdom, Notes from Dad on Life, Love, and Growing Up, a graduate of the University of Arizona with a master's in public policy from Georgetown University, Joanna left her career in politics to write this book. She currently lives in New York. Welcome, Joanna. Thanks for coming on. Moms Don't have time to read books. Thank you so much for having me. So much fun. I know. Can you please tell listeners what

folded wisdom is about? Of course. So folded wisdom is a illustrated story. I like to throw in the

word illustrated to give people a sense of how much color is in the book. But it's an illustrated

story. Everybody get that? There's a lot of color in this book. It's illustrated. It's colorful.

And it's the story of the morning notes. My dad wrote to my brother, Theo, and me every morning before we went to school. So the notes started in 95, not to give our ages or anything, but they started in 1995. My brother was in preschool, and I was in the second grade. Oh, my gosh. I. So old right now. And they're so sorry.

And they continued every morning, every school morning from then until we both graduated

from high school.

And I think the book is obviously centered around my dad and kind of the story of how he

managed to write these notes and what the lessons were inside.

But I would be remiss if I didn't shout out the unsung hero of the whole thing, who's truly my mother, who managed to, after all these years, save them somewhere in the house. I think that, you know, you send kids off to school with a piece of paper, and if it's like for the teacher, you still don't think that they're going to, like, get it to them, And you certainly don't think that a piece of paper folded up in a lunchbox is going to make it home. But make it home they did. And they were in our backpacks and our pockets. And my mom sifted them all out. And somehow I think my, like, back of the envelope math says that he probably wrote us like 4,800 notes, and we have a little

more than 3,500.

Amazing.

So it's very wild.

And tell me how you decided to make this into a book?

So it all started actually in 2009.
